Bystanders save toddler from apartment fire in St. Helens St. Helens community members are praising two residents for their quick thinking and bravery during an apartment fire at the Hidden Oaks apartment complex Monday morning.

Love James Hardie siding. Plus a little glulam beam and a couple of corbels.

Got this monster gable end up on the shop today!

Every once in a while we remember to snap a photo. Shots I found in the camera roll from the last week.

Columbia County Announces 2023 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Schedule: Your household hazardous waste must be in your vehicle's bed, trunk, or hatchback - not the passenger compartment. Unloading may take a few extra minutes as extra safety measures will be in place. Please be patient, and please remain in your car.

Each year, the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department hosts several no-cost Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection events throughout Columbia County. The HHW Collection Program allows residents to drop off various toxic and unsafe materials that are not permitted in the regular disposal or recycling process.
There will be a total of seven collection dates in 2023, open to residents county-wide. The 2023 Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Event schedule is as follows:

February 25, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., St. Helens
April 22, 8 a.m. – noon, Vernonia
May 20, 8 a.m. – noon, Rainier
June 10, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., St. Helens
August 26, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., St. Helens
October 7, 8 a.m. – noon, Clatskanie
October 21, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., St. Helens

Please check the Columbia County website for further updates https://www.columbiacountyor.gov/departments/SolidWaste/hhw-schedule.

Items must be in containers not larger than five (5) gallons and should be secured safely during transport. Trained household hazardous waste technicians will unload materials from your vehicle. Examples of acceptable items:

• fireworks and flares
• gas / diesel / fuels / motor oil / antifreeze
• lawn and garden chemicals
• herbicides and pesticides
• pool and spa chemicals
• light ballasts—must be removed from light fixtures
• fluorescent tubes
• art and hobby chemicals
• solvents and thinners
• items containing mercury
• propane and compressed gas cylinders
• batteries – all types and applications
• cleaners and detergents
• poisons
• paint and paint products (latex and acrylic paint, oil-based paint, enamel, stains, lacquers, shellacs, varnishes, primers, etc.)
• cooking oil
• medical sharps in OSHA-approved, puncture-proof containers
• ammunition

The Transfer Station’s normal disposal fees for automotive batteries, antifreeze, and fluorescent tubes are waived during HHW Collection events. Unwanted paint, used motor oil, and used cooking oil are always free to dispose of at the Transfer Station during regular business hours.

Medical sharps in a sealed, self-closing, puncture-proof, OSHA-approved container are received, at no cost, at the Transfer Station Scale House during business hours. Columbia County residents can enroll in the FREE Sharps Containers Exchange Program at the Transfer Station Scale House.

The Columbia County Sheriff's Office accepts expired or unwanted medication at 901 Port Ave., St. Helens. They are open 7 days per week, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Place items in the MedReturn collection box.

The county collects hazardous waste and disposes of it through safe, environmentally responsible practices, which in turn protects the health of our communities and the environment. For more information, contact Jacob Anderson by phone at 503-397-7259 or by email at [email protected].

This one has a little more of what we do in it and he actually checks out a project we were doing at the time. Check it out and subscribe to his channel for more cool videos!

More Jason Mercier magic! We can give everyone a little credit on the bathroom… Paul Hammon on the vanity. Elijah on the floor. Myself, Derek and Elijah on the shower door. Tho we all know it’s the shower that takes the cake. Jason puts more thought into every little detail on these showers, no matter how big or small, than you can imagine. If we’ve done a shower for you or you’ve compared our showers up close to someone else’s you know!

Trying to get to posting again and realizing I don’t take enough pictures. 😳 Here is a curbless shower we are just finishing up as part of a whole house gut job. Need to finish plumbing and having a custom mirror frame to match the cabinets made as well.

Haven’t posted in quite sometime but it’s not because we haven’t been working. More because we have. This is the smaller of two bathrooms we did here. Working for two more wonderful home owners! Sort of a vintage vibe with the tile used.

2021 TOC , champions !

“My favorite part” he said with heavy sarcasm!.

Derek found this on the wall. It was used as a door shim.
